An acquaintance told me the sad story of how her life unfolded ever since she left high school.  To cut the long story short, she married a man in America who had a second family(in the philippines).  He returned to the philippines last year and she hasn't heard from him since.  She never knew he had another family, and she's stuck with raising 4 kids on her own.

Thats a possibility when it comes to immigrants no matter where in the world they are from. Jus don't understand how she didn't cop on. I remember once about five years ago I was love with this really handsome egyptian man who was taking me to Egypt to meet his family, I went to the Egyptian embassy to get a visa and they informed me that he is already married with a child and a wife obviously! I was damn lucky!!!!

so we have to be carefull on some guy, they are all decievers

some women too are plainly stupid.
@Poster and Topic,i dont feel anything for the lady in the story,she knew the man was married somewhere BUT yet decided to latch on like a leech.she deserves whatever she gets. . . .Not knowing the man is married however,is a different case.

I second that,

The common trap women fall into is thinking they are the messiah that can change a man that doesn’t want to be changed.

There is no way the woman didn’t know the man had a family back in the Philippines, she just chose to ignore the warning signs and play happy families thinking & hoping the man will forget his other family.

I hear stories like this every day; women who marry womanisers and all sorts of “wayward” men thinking that they have the magic wand that can change them into responsible husbands & fathers. Turns out that the women are more stupid than the men.

Why invest time & resources on a man that doesn’t want to be changed when there are many decent good men albeit not too financially secure who will treat you like the queen you deserve.  No condition is permanent and there is nothing stopping the “poor” man today becoming rich tomorrow.

You are right again.
But i am sure there are some of the women too, even after knowing the man has a wife and kids somewhere, they still wanna be with him, hoping and thinking that the other family will just disappear.
